Turbulence Artists' Studios: "SMS-Series 13" by David Crawford
http://www.turbulence.org/studios/crawford/sms13/

"SMS-13" is a 5 minute linear remix of footage shot for previous SMS
installments in London, Paris, Boston, New York, and Tokyo. The familiar
SMS series' algorithmic montage that constitutes each clip's DNA remains
intact, while the individual sequences are now composited within a
linear framework. The speed of the transitions is based on network
connection speed.
